<strong>Bride:</strong> Erin Couch-Sampson <br />
<br />
<strong>Groom:</strong> Josh Maillet<br />
<br />
<strong>How they met:</strong> "Josh and I met ten years ago in high school, when we took the same chemistry class. After becoming close friends, we made it “official”, when he asked me out on my 16th birthday. We have been together ever since," says Erin.<br />
<br />
<strong>Engagement story:</strong> “Josh purposed on Christmas day at his parents’ home, in Moncton where we both grew up," recalls Erin. "It was a perfect moment that we will never forget. We celebrated that evening with our best friends who also got engaged that night."

<strong>Wedding date:</strong> September 10, 2011<br />
<br />
<strong>Wedding theme:</strong> Modern romance<br />
<br />
<strong>Guests:</strong> 135<br />
<br />
<strong>Budget:</strong> $12,000<br />
<br />
<strong>Best moment:</strong> "It is incredibly difficult to choose one moment in particular, since the entire night was so unforgettable! A moment that we will remember forever is seeing each other for the first time and our first dance together," says Erin.<br />
<br />
<strong>Favourite detail:</strong> "I was obsessed with the details throughout the entire planning process and really wanted the wedding to feel like Josh and I. I loved our homemade centrepieces, programs and cake toppers. Music is a major passion in Josh’s life, so we included a few musical influences into the decor, including the music note centerpieces, and our guestbook. We did away with the traditional table numbers and assigned band names to the tables," explains Erin.<br />
<br />
<strong>Wedding song:</strong> "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele. "Both of us are big fans of Adele and the lyrics to this song in particular are so moving that we felt it would be the perfect fit," says Erin.<br />
<br />
<strong>Honeymoon:</strong> "Josh planned the entire honeymoon, as a surprise to me. Not only did I not know where we were going throughout the entire wedding planning process, he left me wondering until the final moment when we were at the airport," says Erin. "He made my dreams come true by taking me to Paris and Nice."
